[Most exciting Webquests ask students to perform a task – usually collaboratively. It should have background information, research, collaborative decision-making and some sort of presentation or performance. For example, the students may have to make a PowerPoint presentation to the local residents with some recommendations about where the new school should be sited and why that location is the best. They may have to set new fishing quotas for recreational or commercial fishermen and produce an information brochure that informs and explains. A good task should always insist on the group having to justify their decisions. If possible, you should set up groups and assign different roles, but ensure that each group member carries an equal responsibility. There should always be individual accountability.]
